| Joy for Matlama |
Bantu and Matlama were the biggest
winners from today’s Vodacom Premier League action as both claimed wins to help
their respective causes.
At the LCS Stadium, Bantu put in their most
impressive performance of the year so far as they overcame LCS 2-0 thanks to
goals from Litšepe Marabe and Lazola Jokojokwana.
The win moves A Matšo Matebele to within two points of Sandawana in the race for
fourth place. Bafokeng Mohapi’s charges were the better side against LCS and
duly took the lead in the 56th minute through Marabe before Jokojokwana sealed
the win in the 68th minute.
For LCS the loss all but rules them out
of the title race. A run of seven wins in a row had brought Masheshena a real shout of winning the
league. However, back-to-back defeats to Lioli and Bantu virtually rule LCS out
of contention.
In St Monica’s, Matlama claimed a vital
three points with a hard-fought win over Mphatlalatsane.
With the win, Tse Putsoa have leapfrogged Lioli into top spot, at least for 24
hours. Lioli play Likhopo tomorrow. But, until then Matlama are leaders of the
Vodacom Premier League. Furthermore, today’s over Linaleli, their fourth on the bounce, shows Tse Putsoa are serious challengers to Lioli’s crown.
While there was jubilation for Matlama,
another defeat for Mphatlalatsane puts them deeper in trouble. They are six
points adrift of safety with five games to go.
In Quthing, Liphakoe and Linare played
to a 2-2 draw that saw all the goals come in the first half while in today’s
other match, Sandawana and LMPS drew 1-1 in Butha-Buthe.
